    Dear Sir,
    I would be grateful if you helped clarify the answer for the following task. It is from BPP revision kit and I do not understand why they list the correct answer as D when, to my knowledge it is clearly B.
    Thank you!

    Unit cost or raw material: $20
    Usage per week: 250 units
    Cost of ordering material, per order $400
    Annual cost of holding inventory, as a % of cost 10%
    Number of weeks in a year 48
    What is EOQ to the nearest unit?
    Answers:
    A 316 units
    B 693 units
    C 1.549 units
    D 2,191 units

    Farzana: Please do not answer in this forum – it is Ask the Tutor, and you are not the tutor 🙂

    NewAccountantInTown: Farzana is correct, and D is the correct answer. (I think what you did is take 250 x 48 as being 1,200, when it is actually 12,000)
